Daniel Gomez has worked as a licensed private investigator for more than three decades. This summer, he is putting that experience on a screen. His debut feature, Wong Place Wong Time, opens with a Dallas-Fort Worth premiere at the Angelika Film Center on Monday, June 29, 2026 at 7:30 PM, then goes live the following day across Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Google Play, and YouTube.
The film is a buddy-cop action-comedy. Gomez plays a private investigator named Detective Gomez who reunites with his former partner, Detective Tony Denton, to investigate a decades-old case. The search pulls the two men into a criminal empire and a revenge plot built over many years, and the story climbs toward an action-packed showdown filled with humor, martial arts, and the rhythm of classic buddy-cop storytelling.
Gomez is not pretending the film is a documentary. He is also not pretending it is pure invention.
“I’ve been a PI for over 30 years, and with this film I’m giving DFW a small taste of what I do every day; some of it fictional, some of it not. But at the end of the day, it’s entertaining,” he says.
That blend is the project’s real selling point. Gomez did not need to research what a stakeout looks like or how a long-buried case gets reopened. He has lived inside both. The story is shaped for entertainment rather than the case file, but the texture is drawn from a career that began in the field and stayed there.
Gomez grew up in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas and still runs his shop in the DFW area. Gomez Detective Agency, headquartered locally, operates online at detectivegomez.com. A wider audience knows him from television, where he is billed as the Former Chief Detective. A different audience knows him from his phone. Under the handle @cheatersdetective, Gomez posts to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
All of that audience now has somewhere to go on June 30.
DG Productions, the company Gomez founded, produced the film. Wong Place Wong Time is the first feature out of the studio, and a sequel is already in development. Part 2 is on the slate.
Before the worldwide stream goes live, Dallas gets first look. The premiere at the Angelika Film Center is open to the public through Eventbrite at www.eventbrite.com/e/wong-place-wong-time-movie-premiere-tickets-1992270546836, and the evening is built to bring fans, media, and members of the local community together for an advance screening.
Once the lights come up at the Angelika, the rollout moves fast. The film streams on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Google Play, and YouTube the next day, June 30, 2026. A dedicated landing page at wongplacewongtimemovie.com hosts further details on the release.
For Gomez, the project closes one loop and opens another. The cases supplied the material. Television supplied the audience. The movie pulls both into a single piece of entertainment that anyone with a streaming subscription can watch from a couch. The sequel, already in development, suggests the detective is not putting down either the camera or the case file anytime soon.
